“In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].” (Psalms 5: 3, Amplified Bible)

A waking thought of God and a prayer to Him is a powerful and assuring beginning to our day. Our part in God’s day is to turn to Him with willingness and receptivity. And there is sacrifice and silent patience involved as well.

What do we need to sacrifice? We must give up a belief in personal control. We must relinquish our pre-conceived notions about what we want or what is right and good. We must offer up our reliance on and preoccupation with others and what they are thinking and any undue focus on that which is material, unlike God Who is infinite Spirit.

God is with us and His clear and pure thoughts are always available to us. His Love is precise and powerful and present. We can open our eyes to the morning and let His sun rise upon our darkness, revealing what is just right for this day at a time that is just right for us and for all.

God is with you when you wake, ready to Love you into your day, for He has never left you. He watched over you all night and will be with you in every moment of His glorious new day.

Daily Inspiration, January 20th

“Father-Mother is the name for Deity, which indicates His tender relationship to His spiritual creation.” (Science and Health, page 332)

How do we think of God? Are we setting Him apart from ourselves by believing He is out of reach and we are simply way beneath Him, reaching out for Him? Do we think that His Love for us is without intimacy and immediacy, and simply a grand ungraspable expanse that we are trying to become acquainted better with, to get some small glimpse of?

The Deity, the divine and only power and Creator, is our Father-Mother. This is not a relationship at a distance, or one that is without tenderness, conscious awareness, care, patience, and a knowing and devoted love. We are His very own children, His dear little ones, born out of and because of Love, and always the proof of His own name. A Father-Mother is what He is because He has children. This is God’s nature and we are the beneficiaries.

This tender relationship is based on pure affection and dedication. God is our individual and collective parent, with no favorites, but with a very particular love for each of us. This Love is what makes us who we are, what nurtures us to grow into maturity of understanding and at the same time remain simply, sweetly, necessarily, dear children, just as our Mother-Father-Love would always have us be.

”Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” (James 4: 3)

All things are possible to God. Prayer can reveal healing, perfection, peace. Are we asking rightly? Are we making demands on God according to our wishes and wants rather than yielding up our desires for God’s higher design?

Asking amiss means using human will to pray for divine benefits; telling God, the all-knowing, our sense of what is best and right and needed. This willful asking can also often be selfish, seeing only our side and not taking others into consideration, as God’s will must always do. He sees and knows all. He is Father-Mother to all. Your needs met do not collide with another’s. They harmonize, when we leave those needs to God’s perfect Mind and activity.

We also may be asking amiss and not receiving because we are praying to the wrong God. Are we praying to One that we feel is trustworthy and capable, or are we praying to a god that we somehow think is arbitrary or needs convincing of our goodness and of his own? Are we praying to a god of matter, or One of Spirit? Are we praying to a god who has limits, or are we praying to the Infinite Almighty?

Ask and receive. Know to Whom you pray and honor Him for that richness, goodness, and wisdom. Yield up the human will for the divine will. This does not leave you in the hands of fate, or possible failure. It leaves you in the hands of infinite, intelligent, perfect, all-seeing, always-active, perfecting, cleansing, healing, merciful, saving Love.

“…set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.” (Colossians 3: 2)

Keep your thoughts on high. Let the things of heaven linger with you and don’t be quick to come back down to earth. Remain faithful to the good, the healing, the holy, the true.

Material things and circumstances, personalities, regrets of the past and worries for the future, all constitute those earthly things that would mesmerize our thinking and paralyze our lives. An undue focus on the body and what it is doing or not doing will distract us unnecessarily from the peace and well-being that is rightfully ours.

Think of the higher things. Think of God, good, of Life that is eternal and loving and true, and stay with those things. When a lovely idea that feels safe and comforting and healing enters your thought; when gratitude and love and patience and gentleness have their moment, don’t be so quick to forget them, to replace them with the limiting lies of mortal life.

Your thought is a natural receiver of God’s ideas. Make room for them and let them settle in for a while. Let those right ideas establish themselves and be a more natural way of thinking, bringing that heavenly sense of well-being to earth, and revealing the Truth of Life— the one that isn’t stuck on the ground, but always ready to be free and to fly!

“…thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.” (Isaiah 30: 19)

The tears of fear, pain, resentment, doubt, sadness can’t continue. Our God comes with His Love to comfort in this moment and bring shiny promises for the next moment. You are not alone or without help. You are deeply cared for and cared about.

Turn that sweet face to your Father-Mother-Love. Give up the weary personal wrestling for human understanding and compensation and validation and peace. Let yourself enter into the hug of God, and remain there for the healing, the cleansing, the true awareness of what is yours to have and enjoy today, now, here.

Your voice is heard by the Almighty. His comfort is more than commiseration or hand-holding. It is the strong and certain and saving presence of all the Love there is, right where you are, gathering you in for an embrace, an assurance that will never leave you and will never think less of you for your asking, for your sighing release to His Love.

God is gracious. His answer is Love and it is also Life—a Life that is greater than the weeping and the worry and ready to reveal surprises that delight and peace that is rightfully, naturally yours.

“Life is divine Mind. Life is not limited.” (Science and Health, page 469)

Don’t accept any limits on your life. Stop rationalizing all the reasons why you can’t, aren’t, shouldn’t, couldn’t, and awake to this one great fact: Life is divine Mind, the creative, expansive thought of God. It is not constituted of material details or confined to the seeming limits and losses of human circumstances.

Life is God’s thought revealed and expressed. Is there anything about God’s thought that can be small or lacking in power, authority, ability? Can an infinite Mind know limitation? Realize the Life you have and yield to its limitless unfolding. God’s thinking is vast and also entirely good. Its vistas are beyond human comprehension, but Love brings them to human realization.

So, let’s ready ourselves to see the wider panorama, the infinite possibilities of our lives. Let the sense of limit fall away as you lift your thought above them, up to the higher and more spiritual perspective. What does God see, know, think? Is His concept of Being confined or stuck or painful or dark or depleted? Is it small and scared? Does His thought have any finiteness? No, He is infinite Mind and His thought is Life—your joyous, loving, perfect, exciting, inviting, limitless Life!

Daily Inspiration, January 1st

“Truth makes a new creature, in whom old things pass away and ‘all things are become new.’ Passions, selfishness, false appetites, hatred, fear, all sensuality, yield to spirituality, and the superabundance of being is on the side of God, good.” (Science and Health, page 201)

Happy New Year! Joyfully awake to a renewed idea of yourself, one that is fresh and free. This is your identity, more true and real and right than any old and less glorious view of yourself.

God, good, prepared this day for you and placed you squarely in the middle of it. He knew that you would magnify Him magnificently. Spirit, God, is always actively working to clear away the mist of mistaken concepts and to show us our best selves, our true nature of unadulterated goodness, innocence, and love. God is forever reminding us that we are His own children.

Let God reveal the beauty of you this year. Let this day be a new beginning; not one in which you remake yourself, but one in which you yield to God’s hands, peeling away naturally and necessarily the layers of lies that are hiding your glory. Those fears, resentments, addictions, compulsions, agreed-to and accepted flaws of character and of body, are flimsy nothing when confronted with God’s superabundance—His purpose to make all things look like Him, therefore perfect, fresh, and ready for a terrific, productive, and happy new year!

“Serve one another with the particular gifts God has given each of you, as faithful dispensers of the magnificently varied grace of God.” (I Peter 4: 10)

You have many gifts. These talents and skills and qualities are unique and uniquely yours. No one has exactly what you have to give and no one can share them in exactly the manner that you can.

Our special gifts aren’t meant to be hidden or hoarded. They are also not to be diminished. These special abilities and qualities of thought and character that we have are incomparable and worthy of our cherishing. They are of God. Because of His “varied grace,”—the multitude of ways in which He loves us—we are blessed with particular gifts.

You have a holy purpose and all that is needed to carry it out. You have been equipped to serve one another, to honor your wonderful self that God made, by letting go of it. We thank God for our blessings by giving to others and giving the glory to Him.

You have special treasures to share. Nurture and respect them. Be willing to discover and put into practice new ones. Giving of these will never deplete you of them. Serving one another with the abilities with which you have been endowed by God Himself can’t leave you weary or exposed to hurt. Know that the loving Source of those qualities is leading you in utilizing them, helping others in doing so, pleasing Him, and proving the infinite scope and variety of God’s gracious, wonderful Love.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Matthew 1: 23)

The birth of Jesus signified more than a spiritually-minded leader come into the world. The virgin-birth, that pure conception of God’s Love for man, brought to light for all time the presence of God with us, and His loving intention for us.

This prophetic message of Emmanuel predated Jesus’s blessed birth. It was the message of the Holy Comforter—that Spirit of goodness and love already and always provided for man to realize and to cherish. Christmas signifies not only that a child was born who would most demonstrate the qualities of the Christ in his human life. It is truly a reminder that God Himself is with us, always, and that makes every day a holiday, a holy day, and one in which we are both a blessing and the blessed.

Celebrate Christmas with the grateful knowledge that you are never alone, never lacking in love or in peace or in joy. God, divine Love, is with us. The revelation of His son and Jesus’s deathless goodness is the Christmas gift of Truth for us all. God is in the here and now, with all His power and Love, just like on that blessed day, and you are the very child that He loves—today and every day!

Merry Christmas!

“Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.” (Job 36: 24-25)

You have an important function. You have been created and equipped to spread the news. You are bound by the covenant of Love, your oneness with God, to express the qualities of His creation and to demonstrate what that means for mankind.

Remember this. You are the sign of God’s handiwork. You are the very radiance that shines forth from His pure source of light. You have the power and the love in you that makes you the perfect representative of God’s goodness.

And this means you get to celebrate. In fact, your mission is to magnify—to praise and glorify—His work for all, in a way that is so splendid it can be witnessed near and far. This requires your devotion, your focus, and your joyful gratitude! It is a call to song and dance without apology or justification. God has granted us supreme license to be glad in the fact of His presence and love, and to show our thanks by expressing His beauty, salvation, freedom, and Life in every place and at all times!
